Think some had thought Jake had been nominated for a Golden Globe before yesterday's announcement. Jake has gotten an Oscar nomination, a SAG nomination and won the BAFTA. Brokeback won 4 Golden Globes but that was one nomination that alluded Jake.
Not anymore.
Jake was nominated yesterday for his first Golden Globe, (Best Actor Comedy or Musical) by the Hollywood Foreign Press .
Jake told Variety about finding out about the nomination, "it was almost delivered by messenger." And added,"I would have loved to have had it delivered by some person in Shakespeare garb."
But it was a flurry of phone calls, texts, and 25 emails, including one from Annie who was also nominated, and it was, transcribed by Jake, “Dude! Exclamation point. Congrats! Millions of exclamation points. You did it! Exclamation points. First Golden Globe nom, right? Millions of question marks. X.”
Anne has been nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Rachel Getting Married. Jake spoke about being nominated together for their work on LaOD. "It’s nice because the last movie we did [Brokeback Mountain] was acknowledged with awards. There’s something about us working together that seems to feel good and feel right." Both must be also excited that they get to share it with Michelle too, who was nominated for her role in Blue Valentine.
Speaking with the entertainment new shows yesterday you can see how sincerely flattered Jake is from being nominated. This is the true blue fella that we've known for all these year. And happy, happy talking about getting ready to celebrate his birthday and the holiday with his family. He's got that sense of excitement that comes with the anticipation of being with the one(s) you love.
Jake finds himself up against Kevin Spacey,Paul Giamatti and Johnny Depp squared in the race, but Jake's past might help him. In 2006 he was up against Don Chealde, Matt Damon and the "George Twins" for the BAFTA, taking the win. Go Jake Go.
The awards will be telecast live Jan. 16 on NBC from the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Ricky Gervais will return as host of the three-hour ceremony. Do you think he will be able to resist the urge to make a joke about a stiff one? The Viagra maybe, the boozey crowd no way.
Win or lose Jake always has his golden guy, goy, goose.
Now that's a ring ...and a good stocking stuffer for a Big Ring lover.
